FPGA compile/license issue #6

Closed ewust closed 10 years ago

ewust commented 10 years ago

I'm trying to build the fpga image for a USRP2. In uhd/fpga/usrp2/top/USRP2, I run make bin. This builds for a while, but then produces an error:

INFO:Security:56 - Part 'xc3s2000' is not a WebPack part. .... Feature: xc3s2000 License path: /home/ewust/.Xilinx/Xilinx.lic:/opt/Xilinx/14.5/ ISE_DS/ISE//data/*.lic:/opt/Xilinx/14.5/ISE_DS/ISE//coregen/core_licenses/Xilinx .lic:/opt/Xilinx/14.5/ISE_DS/ISE//coregen/core_licenses/XilinxFree.lic: FLEXnet Licensing error:-8,130 For further information, refer to the FLEXnet Licensing documentation, available at "www.flexerasoftware.com". ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ERROR:Map:258 - A problem was encountered attempting to get the license for this architecture.

I can't seem to find a xilinx license for xc3s2000 anywhere, either from Xilinx or from Ettus. Is there something I'm missing?

Compiling an image for the USRP2 FPGA requires the pay version of the Xilinx tools, so you would need to obtain a license from them. Their free version (WebPack) does support the FPGA in the N210, but not the USRP2.

You can get a free evaluation license from them which should work for 60 or 90 days.
